First post kinda nervous, so there’s this brush I like to sketch with it’s pencil -4 soft but I don’t know how to adjust it to my liking no matter how many times i mess with the settings(I haven’t used krita that long so i’m not familiar with it yet). The brush is fine by itself but i wish the opacity is high(?) i just want the brush to be darker. sorry if it doesn’t make sense i’m half asleep typing this all out

You can play with this:

1. Reduce the spacing

1. Remove the flow (uncheck 1) or increase the flow opacity of the starting point graph (2)
